Amid antitrust scrutiny, Facebook is going on a charm offensive with Republican lawmakers. And now, Mark Zuckerberg and one of Facebook's board members—a major Trump donor—had a secret dinner with Trump. This is corruption, plain and simple. nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news…
This is how the government keeps working for giant corporations and the wealthy and well-connected. It's no wonder that companies like Facebook have been allowed to consolidate economic and political power without any real accountability.
I won't cozy up to Facebook when I'm president. It's time to root out corruption in Washington. Until we do, we won't be able to make any progress on any of the issues that matter to us. And I've got a plan for that.

Unpredictable work schedules are leaving too many part-time workers with no control over their time and not enough hours to make ends meet. My Fair Workweek Plan will put power in the hands of part-time workers and help them control their schedules. elizabethwarren.com/plans/part-tim…
As corporations rake in larger profits, working families across the country are getting crushed by rising costs and wages that are barely budging. Adding to their challenges, many employers—especially in the retail and service industries—are using algorithms to assign schedules.
Millions of workers face unpredictable schedules that can change dramatically day-to-day—even by the hour—with almost no advance warning. A third of workers involuntarily work part-time because they aren't assigned enough hours by giant corporations trying to keep costs down.

Thanksgiving was always a big gathering in our family. The holiday brought in family from Texas, Arkansas, and Kansas. That meant LOTS of planning over who would bring what, how much, and so on.

One year, Aunt Max, my mother’s oldest sister, volunteered to bring the turkey.
Aunt Max was funny and quick-talking. She never took anything too seriously, including time. And she wasn’t much of a cook, so the other sisters made sure that she was up to the task—peppering her with questions, making sure she'd get a big enough turkey.
Thanksgiving dinner was set for noon, and most of the family was there by mid-morning. The table was set. The sweet potato casseroles were out of the oven. The pies were on display. The Jell-O molds were out on special plates. Food was piled everywhere. But—no Aunt Max.

I’ve known @AyannaPressley for nearly a decade. Together, we've fought against for-profit colleges, stood for families torn apart by gun violence, and gone toe-to-toe with the Trump administration as we’ve fought to protect immigrant families. #AtlantaWithWarren
@AyannaPressley I wanted to stick around after last night’s debate because this city has been at the heart of America’s fight for justice. Atlanta is a city that honors fighters. The fighters I want to talk about tonight are Black women.
@AyannaPressley I’m here to make a commitment: When I am president of the United States, the lessons of Black history will not be lost. Those lessons, they will live in every part of my presidency—and I will ask you to hold me accountable for that promise every single day.

#Facebook's new political ads policy spells trouble for #2020. FB's only Dutch fact-checker just quit over the new 'lies are ok" policy. If legislators don't tackle this, we won't have a fair #2020 election or impeachment process. @Narativlive theguardian.com/technology/201…
@NarativLive 2. In a series of posts on narativ.org in 2017 I exposed how Facebook became a political propaganda machine to elect #Trump. I detailed how autocrats, theocrats and foreign intelligence disrupted democracy @narativlive #WednesdayWisdom #2020 narativ.org/2017/09/12/fac…
3. Trump+Facebook polarized Americans by amplifying extremism on social issues. I exposed how #Russia and her US church affiliates inflamed tensions over #lgbtq issues on #Facebook. @narativlive #WednesdayWisdom narativ.org/2017/09/27/div…
